30–30 CLUB | BASEBALL ALMANAC

30 Home Runs and 30 Stolen Bases During the Same Season | Baseball Almanac

The Major League standard for true speed and power was the attainment of thirty home runs and thirty stolen bases during any single season. In 1988, Jose Canseco set a new standard when he reached 40–40, but the combination of 30–30 is still considered a unique and very desirable blend of power and speed. Research by Baseball Almanac.

"If you get two-hundred hits a season, you're going to hit .333 and you'll still have four-hundred outs. I don't see why you have to run down to first base every time to make an out." - Bonds, Bobby.

The National League might be older – it officially started in 1876, but the American League, which officially started in 1901, had the first 30–30 player in Major League Baseball history.

Bobby Bonds, and his son Barry Bonds, are the only two players to become 30–30 Club members five separate times each!

Hank Aaron also collected 201 hits during his 30–30 season (1963), the first 30-30 player from either league to reach the 200-hit benchmark. Since then, nine additional players have also had 200-or-more hits during their 30–30 season; Ellis Burks (211 hits in 1996), Larry Walker (208 hits in 1997), Alex Rodriguez (213 hits in 1998), Vladimir Guerrero (206 hits in 2002), Alfonso Soriano (209 hits in 2002), Jimmy Rollins (212 hits in 2007), Jacoby Ellsbury (212 hits in 2011), Ronald Acuña Jr. (217 hits in 2023), and Bobby Witt Jr. (204 hits in 2024).

Did you know that Bobby Bonds was the first; and until 2006, when Alfonso Soriano tied him the only, Major League baseball player to hit at least thirty home runs and steal at least thirty bases in both the American and National League?
